IMPROVEMENT IN MEDlCINAL PREPARATiONS OF IRON.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,805, dated June 13, 1871.

I, WALTER A. ASPINALL, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Mode of Putting up Iron, of which the following is e specification:

My invention consists in a novel way of putting up iron in form of e jelly, in which form it is pleasant and palatable to take as it medicine.

I use the following ingredients in about the following proportions: Tinctferri cklorid'i, one part, fluid; glycerine, one pert, fluid; s'irupus simplex, two parts, fluid;- muoila'ge, (gum acecizt,) four parts, fluid; ffJiY'i-tM-S Zimonis, onefourth part, fluid.

I first mix the iron and the glycerine in asnitalble mortar, and then add the lemon; 1 then mix the sirup and the mucila-ge thoroughly, and put all together in the mortar, stirring them briskly until the whole mess forms a stiff jelly.
